The Internet has become such a vital part of our culture that it is difficult to imagine how we ever functioned without it. There are generations of youth who have never known what life was like before the Internet and all that it brings: collaboration, convenience, commerce, communication, and research. But the Internet has also opened up a Pandora's Box for youth. In a 2006 study, the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC) explained that this technology has had an immeasurable impact on the sexual exploitation of children.  What can we do as information security professionals to protect the next generation and our families? What will this mean for our future? This panel of experts will share their insights into investigating and preventing these types of abuses.
